The 1987/88 season was the second regular season of the All-American Hockey League . During the regular season, the eight teams should play 44 games each, but the schedule had to be changed several times due to the early, financially-related, departure of the Michigan Stars and the shortened schedule of the Johnstown Chiefs . In the play-offs, the Virginia Lancers prevailed and became champions of the AAHL for the first time.
